Subject: CRD: Whitlams "Life's A Beach"

"Life's A Beach" by The Whitlams.

Transcribed by Daniel Meijer 


The main rhythm part is fairly simple. In the bridge, play 
where indicated to reprouce the simultaneous piano and bass part, which I
can't describe with a chord name.  indicates no chord.


Intro:
Am   G   F


Am  G          F
Burning all the photos, 
Am  G               F
sorting through the clothes
Am  G          F
You bought this new for me
     Am       G       F
and now it's full of holes
         Am     G         F
Remember babytalk in the morning
Am         G         F
What's the hurry my girl?
Am  G      F
You don't need any coffee 
       Am      G       F
if you take the day off school


C Dm       Em F
We're all over
C Dm      Em    F
and I'm all over town
C Dm         Em   F
We've got work here
C Dm   Em F 
tearing it down


               Am      G            F
You know it's quicker packing for a holiday
            Am        G      F
'cause I'd see these things again
Am       G         F
I loved you in this T-shirt of mine
        Am    G            F
You can have it - it says "Life's A Beach"


C Dm      Em   F
There's a beach umbrella
C Dm      Em      F
Couple lying in the sun
C Dm    Em       F
And for once in my life 
              C          Dm
it's not the people from the suburbs
Em   F
It's me's got it wrong


Bridge:
Am   G   F

Em
On through the evening and into the dawn

Am  G   F 
      Journey me, journey me

Journey me, journey me

where love keeps on.
Am   G   F


Am      G       F
Burning all the photos
            Am       G         F
They have a habit of mocking a single man
Am G             F
I'm keeping the first one
          Am    G       F
We're not even holding hands


C Dm       Em F
We're all over
C Dm      Em    F
and I'm all over town
C Dm         Em   F
We've got work here
C Dm   Em F 
tearing it down


C Dm      Em   F
There's a beach umbrella
C Dm      Em      F
Couple lying in the sun
C Dm    Em       F
And for once in my life 
              C          Dm
it's not the people from the suburbs
Em   F
It's me's got it wrong...

C  Dm   Em  F
